Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.

Toyota Proace Bus

The Toyota Proace Bus is a pragmatic people‑mover that swallows passengers and luggage with the kind of everyday practicality fleet managers and large families will appreciate. It may not thrill the enthusiast, but its sensible layout, sturdy build and Toyota badge make it a dependable, no-nonsense choice for anyone needing space and reliability rather than flash.
